He don't know how long he was here, but he knows he will be here very long . The night was young, or was it dying by the morning light .

He was sitting outside the air was cold, but he doesn't mind it at all . Sipping at his cup filled with sake, enjoying the sound of the water . Life was good while it last .

He just wants to sit here forever, thinking and waiting .

He will think about him, everything every .. little .. thing .

He will wait, and wait, and wait till the man will come to him . He has not seen his since forever, he wonders how well he is . Is he taller ? Stronger then before ? Will his brown eyes still have the same fight in it, when he first met him .

He sipped more of his sake, and waited and waited .

Why is he acting like this ? Why is that man so special to him ? Why is everything about him so ... So ... Addictive .

And he remembers .. He remembers that feeling .

He is in love .

He is in love with an other man, he loves him and wants to be with him .

But ofcourse nobody will accept it, maybe not even the man . Only his adopted sister she accepted him, she knews he is in love but he never told her who . She was glad and she wished him happiness . Maybe because he took her in the family, or she is born with a kind and good heart . He will never know .

He noticed the dark sky is changing, it is becoming lighter and the redness is taking slowly over . As the sun wants to rule the sky, and forcing the moon on the other side .

The birds were waking up, he loves the hear the sound so beautiful and full of life .

He put the sake away, as he stood he stretched a little . And heard a knock on the door, as the sun slowly hits the sky .

' Come in .'

The door opened as a young boy with white hair walks in .' Good mor .. Byakuya-sama you are already up, am I late ? ' The boy looked at his watch, ticking it with his finger and pressing it to his ear . To see if his watch is not broken .

' No Aiko-san I could not sleep . ' He said as he walked to the boy, who stepped more in the room and closed the door .' You should have called me Byakuya-sama, my family has a recipes for not sleeping well .'

' I know I know I just ... '

' Is it .. That bad Byakuya-sama ? ' Aiko asked if he looked worried .' Excuse my rudeness, but I heard that lately that you can't sleep well lately . If there is something I can do for you, please let me know I will help as much as I can .' He bowed to his master as Byakuya looked at him feeling little tired but not sleepy .

' Thanks Aiko-san I will keep it in mind .'

Byakuya undressed as Aiko put his clothes for the day ready, and took his night clothes for the wash . ' Is there something I should know of, because I like to go out today .'

' Well yes your friend Kurosaki-san is coming .' Aiko smiled at his master, as he looked shocked for a moment .' The eldest what does he want now ? '

' No no not the eldest his son Ichigo, Kurosaki Ichigo will visit today ... Did Rukia-sama not say anything, she was really exited yesterday .'

' No she did not ... ' For a sister who loved and accepted him, she don't know she can be a witch sometimes . ' Do I need to tell them, you will not be here ? '

' No I will greet them, then I will go out .' Aiko nodded and left the room, leaving Byakuya with his thoughts .

His heart was beating fast, as he put his hand on his chest . He sighed trying to calm himself down, he can do this . Just because he did not saw him for so long, don't mean he was like a girl who has a first crush .

He almost walked out of the room, lost in thoughts as he noticed his top was not fixed well . He walked to mirror to fix himself when he heard loud foot steps .

' Please wait Byakuya-sama is still changing ! ' He heard Aiko as he turned to the door, he looked shocked as the door slammed open . Revealing a young man with orange hair, and bright smile on his face .' Yo ! ' He said loudly .

Byakuya almost fainted, almost as he stared at the man he fell in love with . Staring back at him with he chest exposed . ' Do you mind ? '

' Nah not really hurry up, I heard you going out I am going with you ! ' Before Byakuya could say anything, others were coming to his room as well .' Ichigo you brat come back ! ' ichigo cursed and grabbed Byakuya's hand as he escaped with him through the window .

' Byakuya-sama ! '

' Ichigo ! '

Byakuya really wished if he know any of this he would have slept through the night .

As he looked at Ichigo who still held his hand, he sighed with a small blush . Maybe it's not that bad after all .
